MOODY AND MISSIONS.

Many are familiar with the marvel
lous movements among the college
students, in the interest of missions,
in which Mr.. Moody, Drs. Ashmore,
Pierson and Gordon have figured so
prominently. God has seen ft to
use Mr.. Moody as an efficient agent
in this grand work. And now the
report comes from Moody's home at
Mortified, Mass, that, in the gath
ering of college students, numbering
500, representing all the great coun'
tries of the world, large number Of
names has been added to the 1000
who had already pledged themselves
to mission work. What vast, TN
thought-of results await the labors of
these young bloods in the church Of
Christ! For the word of God says
one shall chase thousand, and two
put ten thousand to flight. Daring

The fourth days session Of the
National Convocation Of the Knights

morning at eight o'clock. The ses-
sion the evening previous having
been protracted till after midnight,
many Of the representatives appear
ed somewhat the worse for wear.
They frightened up considerab y,
however, when business became Of
interest.
After the usual opening ceremo-
MES, and the approval Of the min
utes Of the previous days proceed
ings, an attempt was mads to rush
business through With despatch.
The Committee on Ways and
Means for Paying the Indebtedness
of the National Grand Temple and
Tabernacle and for Expenses Of Or
ganizing the State Grand Temples
and Tabernaclss reported that the
indebtedness of the National Grand
Temple and Tabernacle is $2,814;
and recommended that each State
Jurisdiction pay the following pro

Arkansas Jurisdiction, GA members, ....... S8t

The committee recommend that
the amount be raised by per capita
tax, and that $50 and travelling ex-

PROHIBITION.

This is one of the most popular and
one of the most public theories or
topics that Is being discussed in the
papers throughout the United States
to-day. And while IL has done a
great deal of good in many places,
yet to-day there Is an Evil practice
connected with it that the present law
does not meet, and which Is a shame
to our city aud our county. While
our bar-rooms and publicly licensed
saloons are known no more here by
the masses of people who 90 not
drink, yet in this city to-day there
are houses that sell more and meaner
whiskies at higher prices than ever
before In the history of Hopkinsville.
And one reason why It appears from
the public records that prohibition
does almost entirely prohibits be-
cause those who drink are under OBJ
legations to conceal the fact from
public view, in order to screen those
from whom they purchase, and In
order that they may maintain their
reputation and confidence with those
who deal in II. Now known whereof
speak, and can verify the statement,
that there are men In this town to-
day who sell more whisky, make
more money and at less expense than
ever at anytime before Prohibition
and even boast of this fact, and
furthermore there Is not day passes
but that more or less drunken men
can be found in our town. Nor Is this
all. Our officers, many Of them whose
sworn duty IL Is to protect the laws
of our land and country, are the very
parties to whom those places are best
known, consequently this of itself
gives confidence TO those parties who
are willing TO sell In direct opposition
to our Prohibition laws. And not
only this-but 1t has an evil influence
in many directions. To Illustrate,
every house in the city who deals In
vinous or malt liquors In order to
shield or protect themselves fiom
public view or detection, they keep
other goods or groceries and represent
themselves in this light,to the public,
and away back some where In some
dark recess or den Is found all kinds
of destructive drinks, and often
the case is innocent honest men who
are dealing alone, either in dry
goods or groceries are robbed of
large portion of their trade by those
parties who keep whisky and offer II
as an inducement TO many that in
dulge and feel that they can not get
it in any other way, and / do think
that as law abiding citizens, those
who like gentlemen when their
countrymen, majority of whom said
you must not sell malt or vinous
liquors surrendered up their business
in that direction aud tried some
other more honest method or mode
of livelihood need the protection Of
this law and 4 shield against those
who violate, and by so doing robs

tions. drop these facts for the ben

How an EnterprisIng Tennessee Couple

We left Memphis by steamer at
about o'clock in the evening" and
among the deck passengers noticed q
couple. man and wife, who gazed
around as II they had never seen n
steamboat before. They had an old
coffee sack with some clothing in it.
out no other baggage. They moved
about in timid way, and both seemed
much afraid of the water.
The boat had not gone five miles
down the river, and the large number
of passengers had not yet settled
down, when there was an unearthly
shrek, followed by the cry of "man
overboarla' The boat was stopped
and her wheels backed, and after two
or three minutes it was learned that
one of the couple l have mentioned
the husband-had fallen overheard.
The woman ''took on" In the widest
manner, crying and moaning and
wiinging her hands, and when asked
how Il happened she replied:
He just dun fell over-fell over
fell overI"
By that time 1t was Hseles to think
of lowering boat There was a swift
current running. and as the man had
not cried out there could be no doubt
of his being drowned. Every one
pitied the woman of course. and when
somebody took of his hat and dropped
u iivc-dollar bill into 1T. it was "go"
NIL around. A hundred dollars was
raised her in fifteen minutes. and she
went ashore at the first landing made
by the boat, Juggling the bag Of clothes
with her went down as far as Her
nando, Miss, and stopped Off there for
two days, taking second steamer
down on the third night from the above
occurrence. When went down to the
levee saw couple with an old sack
between 'em who reminded me of the
pair on the boat. and l also saw them
come aboard. The resemblance aston
ishcd me, but it had to go for coinci-
dence-
The steamer pulled out about ten
o'clock, and had not been under way
half an hour when there was loud
shrek, followed by the cry Of. ..Man
overboardr' It was repetition Of
what have related before, except that
some Of the passengers had gone TO
bed. and the shake purse didn't count
up over forty dollars. The hat was
passed to me, but 1 declined to chip.
The 'recent and grief stricken widow
left the boat at the first landing. and
went to bed with the feeling that Gu
iioas condolences were mighty thick
on the Mississippi river l left the
boat at Helena, made three days
stay. and was ready to take another
boat on the down trip, when / ran
across that self-same couple at the
levee, waiting for the Same boat.
After some minutes spent in solemn
reflection. walked up TO them and
said to the man;
Come now, this Is a square deal,
and give nothing away. I've seen
you drowned twice, and I've seen this
